On Tuesday, Jan. 5, at around 9:45 p.m., police responded to RPM Fuels at 137 Route 101 in Bedford for a report of a robbery, according to a press statement.

According to witnesses, a man entered the business, indicated that he had a weapon and demanded cash. The suspect then fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.

The man was described as a white, wearing a grey/black jacket and a hat and was observed getting into a white Kia sedan. The vehicle was last seen turning onto Meetinghouse Road from Route 101.

Responding units located and stopped the suspect vehicle on Meetinghouse Road in Bedford. At that time, the female driver, identified as Langille, and the male suspect, determined to be McWha, were taken into custody without incident.

Both McWha and Langille were arraigned at the 9th Circuit Court in Merrimack. McWha is being held on $20,000 cash bail, while Langille is being held on $8,000 cash or surety. The two are at Valley Street Jail pending a probable cause hearing on Jan. 19, 2016, at the 9th Circuit Court in Merrimack.

“I applaud the Bedford Police Patrol Division officers whose swift response and action resulted in the apprehension of these two suspects as well as the assistance from the public,” Bryfonski said. “Thankfully, no one at the gas station was injured during this incident.”
